Applied patch #725106, by Greg Chapman, fixing capturing groups
within repeats of alternatives. The only change to the original patch was to convert the tests to the new test_re.py file. This patch fixes cases like: >>> re.match('((a)|b)*', 'abc').groups() ('b', '') Which is wrong (it's impossible to match the empty string), and incompatible with other regex systems, like the following examples show: % perl -e '"abc" =~ /^((a)|b)*/; print "$1 $2\n";' b a % echo "abc" | sed -r -e "s/^((a)|b)*/\1 \2|/" b a|c
